ST rocks. You know who you are. -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 10:37 1
- I just got back from vacation. Am I too late to rock? -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 10:38
Ooh, when did Patrick Duffy get *old*? -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 11, 10:33 2
- looks like he's 63. I figured he's older than that. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 10:34
- 1990. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 10:33
220ppi, 2880 x 1800? My eyes are bleeding just thinking about it. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:32 11
- what is this? new Ipad? -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 10:35 6
  - The new retina display 17" Macbook Pro. With up to 768 GB of "Flash RAM" (that not-SSD SSD) and *HDMI* WTF?! -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:36 3
    - Ooh. Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet and Thunderbolt-to-Firewire adapters. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:38 2
      - they cost $125 each right? -- nm - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 10:39 1
        
        That'd be cheap for Apple. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:40
  - a new macbook pro model. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:35 1
    - Isn't there a point where we really won't see any difference? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 11, 10:37
- So is your wallet. I can't wait to see how much. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 10:33 3
  - Rumors this morning before the event were $4000; no idea on the credibility of that though. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:34 2
    - Seriously. Who needs a Mac Pro if you get this? -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:36 1
      - I bet it's a replacement and Apple just lets the Pro die. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 10:38
Tax the internet! -- (link) - United Nations Jun 11, 10:30 2
- At the moment, this has nothing to do with the UN and everything to do with Europe. -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 10:36 1

lunch time! -- nm - tRuMaN (CPA, representing ST) Jun 11, 10:28
Hey dorks. Can you replace a SSD with a traditional drive? - spamlet Jun 11, 10:22 15
- On most computers, yes. On Macs, no. Most of their SSDs aren't really SSDs. They RAM arrays underneath the keyboard. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:29 3
  - AFAIK only in the Air. The Macbook pros with SSDs have regular drives -- nm - Guigue Jun 11, 10:32 2
    - That may be, but looking at this Pro on my desk, I can't even see how I'm supposed to open it. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:33 1
      - Apple says you're not. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 10:40
- Once you go SSD, you never go back, fwiw. (If it's not enough space on the SSD, just get a nice external for more storage.) -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 10:28
- Yes. SSDs have the same interfaces as regular HD. Just match the form factor (physical size) -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 10:26 3
  - Except I don't think the Macbook Air has a true SSD, it has internal on-motherboard flash storage AFAIK -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 10:27 2
    - This. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jun 11, 10:30
    - ah, stupid Apple :) -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 10:30
- the air doesn't have a regular SSD, and the size of it doesn't allow a regular HD -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 10:24 5
  - So, I guess that's a no :) -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 10:27
  - (Also, the just-announced Air has 512GB, not 128GB -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 10:24 3
    - Yes, for $1,800. (Unless it's the new model that verge just mentioned) -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 10:25 2
      - Shipping today. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 10:27 1
        
        Unfortunately, the $1,800 is the problem... - spamlet Jun 11, 10:29
" You get the feeling, not just from this but from numerous other signals, that [Tim] Cook has more of a humanitarian bent than Jobs did." - Beryllium Jun 11, 10:18

  - and pretzels -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 10:19
- beer, cheezies, pizza, pretzels, carrot, spaghetti, chocolate -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:18
- Wine, Chips, Pizza, Pretzels, Celery, Spaghetti, Chocolate. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 10:18
Audit: Program that permanently houses LA's chronically homeless saves local governments money -- (link) - con_carne Jun 11, 10:16 1

And here I thought Rick Perry was supposed to be one of the darlings of the Tea Party -- (link) - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 10:15
Calgary Sters around? Workers dangling from scaffolding in downtown Calgary...the picture is scary shit -- (link) - Beaker Jun 11, 10:09 3

- that should be a must. -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:05
[deleted] 1
- I find it baffling that that would be used in cases where the ruling is not unanimous, let alone where there is a signed dissent. -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 10:24

  - fair enough but ... I'd rather see her rack than Devo's junk at their present ages! - JenBro Jun 11, 09:59 6
    - me too. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 09:59 5
      - now their armpits on the other hand ... -- nm - Groiny's Dog si Jun 11, 10:01 4
        
        well, I do smell really good today..... nm -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 10:03 3
        
        oh yeah? what 'cha wearin' ? - JenBro Jun 11, 10:14 2
        
        I actually think it is more the deodorant than the cologne. - groiny Jun 11, 10:16 1
        
        LOLLLLLLLLL - JenBro Jun 11, 10:34
Comics today: The Boys: B+ (spoilers in im), Fury: B+ - Beaker Jun 11, 09:55 6
- I read that series in trade form and it's terrific -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 09:56 5
  - If you take out Highland Laddie and Herogasm (both really really bad), The Boys has been stellar (the Butcher ls was awesome) -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 09:58 4
    - I agree with that. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 10:15 2
      - but I could see the "over-the-topness" not being for everyone though -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:19 1
        
        well that's Garth being "garth" he's gotta let that craziness out. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 10:23
    - ls = limited series -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:05

- takes about 4 or episodes to really get cooking -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 09:52 3
  - "Some of these crystals are 2 or 3 inches long! You're a freakin artist man!" - Jovian Jun 11, 10:01
  - pun intended :) (but I agree) -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 09:52 1
    - HA! totally unintended. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 09:53
- cool. Are you digging it so far? -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 09:52 1
  - oh yea definitely. If it wasnt Sunday night (and thus True Blood & The Borgias), I would have watched another 2 or 3 eps. -- nm - Jovian Jun 11, 10:00

- It's making the rounds of family and church friends too. I'm glad he wrote it. -- nm - landbeck Jun 11, 10:41
- wow ... I certainly hope it continues to work for them and their children, but if at some point it doesn't I have complete faith they will handle it - JenBro Jun 11, 10:33
- thanks for sharing that. very interesting indeed -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 10:26
- good for him. -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 09:47 2

Plausible Fixes - An accompanying discussion about conspiracy theories in boxing -- (link) - Beaker Jun 11, 09:37 14
- the link off this link with the theory actually goes into greater detail of why it may have been fixed and I could see it. - Mel Profit Jun 11, 10:36
- and Berto failed a drug test? - Mel Profit Jun 11, 10:17
- it still defies logic to me that they'd mess with the potential of the biggest fight in the history of the sport... - Mel Profit Jun 11, 09:55 10
  - the interesting thing would be if Pac was in on it and wanted to lose so that Floyd would be more likely to fight him if he appears weak -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:00 2
    - I think that's assuming everyone is twice as smart as they are. - Mel Profit Jun 11, 10:08
    - if I turn up dead, this is reason #1 -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:01
  - Or, they knew that the big one won't ever happen anyway. - spamlet Jun 11, 09:59 1
    - The thing is... - Mel Profit Jun 11, 10:03
  - that's a bit hyberbolic re: "biggest fight in the history" Interest is exponentially lower than its heyday. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 09:57 2
    - The money that was and is still being talked about would literally make it the biggest fight in the sport. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 11, 10:01 1
      - and alot of that money will still be there even after the loss and Floyd's jail stint -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:02
  - the Arum stuff makes sense; given that Pac had beaten all the other fighters in Arum's stable to boot. - Beaker Jun 11, 09:56 1
    - It's plausible. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 11, 09:57
- I love that Lederman was dissing the judges even before the fight started -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 09:44
INGERLAND!!! -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 09:36 1
- Merde. -- nm - LMS Jun 11, 09:44
Maybe the fact that I enjoyed Prometheus a lot more than most of you was due to the fact that - prayformojo Jun 11, 09:36 3
- Great, he is brought in for the rewrite of WWZ -- nm - amoxy Jun 11, 09:37 2
